If floral crowns, dip-dyes and hair stencils aren't pushing your locks to their limits yet, get on board with this new tress trend - hair tapestries. Combining two of our favourite things - interior design and pimping our strands - it's kind of like wrapping a section of hair in a pretty, embroidered rug.

That sounds weird but it's not so strange when you spot it on Lou Teasdale's Instagram page - the look was designed by Alex Brownsell of cooler-than-thou Bleach London fame. Set against some tousled texture with extra teasing at the crown, the monochrome pattern with a rainbow heart is all we want this festival season.

It just goes to show how experimenting can create some seriously awesome styles, and you can boast the same kind of handiwork by weaving your locks with some colourful yarn. So will you be getting all creative and giving hair tapestries a go? Let us know in the comments below or tweet us @CosmopolitanUK.
